The CDA chairman praised the water supply department and instructed the appropriate personnel to take efforts to install solar panels at the plant to save electricity. When contacted, Deputy Director General (Water Management) Sardar Khan Zimri stated that CDA had 176 existing tubewells and that some new ones were being erected, all of which would eventually be converted to an automated system.
